Jess and Janine are reduced to angry speechlessness more than once, Cynical and Naïve make another appearance, and Jess would definitely pick up hitchhikers in a Manitoba winter, in this episode of the Books & Banter podcast, featuring Highway of Tears by Jessica McDermid.

Please note that contrary to what Jess says, “skittles” is a type of bowling, not a type of billiards.

Janine is grossed out by certain hide-tanning techniques, Jess never trusts anybody, and the two of them discuss various First Nations cooking techniques in this episode of the Books and Banter podcast, featuring Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom.
